Lookin' back on the memory of the dance we shared
Beneath the stars above
For a moment, all the world was right
How could I have known
That you'd ever say goodbye
And I, I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end
The way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance
Holding you, I held everything
For a moment, wasn't I the king
But if I'd only known
How the king would fall
Hey, who's to say
That I might have changed it all
And now, I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end
The way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance
Yes, our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance
